Windows 7: Lots of crashing, seems like just while gaming

About a week ago I started having random crashes(bsod) while playing WoW. Seems like it might be a driver issue, although I haven't ruled out hardware entirely... The system was pretty solid until this issue popped up. Also I noticed that watching videos or leaving the pc idle won't crash it. However if I play WoW or XCOM it'll crash. Sometimes after a couple minutes, sometime not after a couple hours. My first thought was either over heating or memory issue. I watched the temps while playing and they were fine and I ran memtest for 15 passes with no errors.

I attached my logs and I tried to run Driver Verifier but was having a problem. About 30 seconds after getting in to windows my pc would freeze. Both mouse and keyboard were unresponsive. So I'd have to manually reboot, not even getting to a blue screen for it to log.

Seems to be a problem with the ati driver kit. I would just try a uninstall reinstall (with fresh download from site)
p.s. Driver verifier can do that... no big deal. just shut it back off you have plenty of minidump files and they all say generally the same thing.

I'll give that a shot after work tonight. I was reading about running Driver Sweeper to completely remove the old driver then doing an install of just the driver and not the catalyst control center with it. Does that sound like the way I should do it?

actually driver sweeper would be the next step if a normal uninstall/reinstall didn't work. You can go ahead and use that method just make sure you are using the most recent version of driver sweeper you can get your hands on. Also never hurts to use this time to check windows update and get whatever you need there. Some of the newer graphics drivers and the control panels for them like .net to be fully up to date.

also make sure to only check display drivers in driver sweeper, it can and will wipe out everything if you don't use it carefully.

Do you have anything... odd plugged into your usb?
The failures are usbport.sys and the kbdclass.sys
Basically your keyboard and usb port.
Is this still happening while gaming? usually this kind of thing happens when sleeping or waking the device. Not during a game.

I think I have it narrowed down to my headset. After the usb crash, the next 2 sounded like audio. I unplugged my headset and the blue screens stopped. WoW still crashes but i think that's a separate issue as the Blizzard forums are loaded with people having the same client crash as me. I'll look into that one later. XCOM played fine for hours and no crashes.

Crashing While GamingI've been playing CoD:AW recently and, soon after playing a game my computer freezes and I have to restart it.
For context, my shrowd-style stock EVGA 660ti reaches temps of 80C+ on Battlefield 4 and has never shut down. Similarly, my processor (3570k) reaches high 60s and also has never shut...
